Should I include my divorce decree with the papers?

[Jeanie821 1]

Hi. New to the forums, new to all of this!

I'm putting in the applications for my fiance's K1 visa tomorrow or the next day. I think I've got everything in order, but I have one question - should I include a copy of my divorce decree (a/k/a decree absolute)?

hi. you need to send it , if you don't you definitely will get an RFE and nobody wants that ' SEND IT"

[The Mean Lady 604]

Yes, because it's required.

Take 1 more look over the guide just in case you missed anything else?

Thank you. Pardon my newbie-ness, but what's an RFE?

Request For Evidence

Welcome :-)

okay RFE means" request of more evidence" and of course that is going to make the process longer , sometimes it could be only 2 weeks , or up to 2 months

It sounds like you may not be quite ready to send off the forms. One of the requirements is that each of you are free to marry. Divorce decrees are the proof they want to see. If you were divorced three times, then they want all three decrees...the whole thing and signed by the judge. Do go over the guides again to see if you missed anything else.

We're you divorced in the UK? I ask because you called it decree absolute. But you are the US citizen if you are applying for your fiancé, so I was curious.

I'm just picking up my fiance's expressions. LOL! I'm the US citizen, and thankfully, only married and divorced once.

Ok, I was going to pass on a tip if it was a decree absolute from rhe UK you were sending.
